WebNuggetz : My Squidoo Alternative for Affiliate Marketing

Several years back when I decided to try earning money via affiliatemarketing , it took me hardly any time at all to realize that if there was no traffic to my stand alone website or blog, then it was not likely that I would earn commissions from sales of affiliate products.

About the same time I signed up for affiliateadvertising programs, I was also trying my hand at freelancewriting . A fellow blogger sent me an eMail that had a banner link to HUBPages. So I clicked, signed up and discovered that HP participated in the AmazonAssociatesProgram . From HP, I found Squidoo, another site that participated in the AA Program. Everything was fine until Squidoo got acquired by HUBPages and then HP started with these strict rules about how many products could be advertised per HUB, etc.

A friend suggested that I sign up for Webnuggetz.com . She said the site was created for affiliate marketers. It was good advice. I get by with a little help from my friends. :)

I haven't gotten into affiliate marketing yet. I was just checking out HubPages today--they have SO many different sites! They are quite well-established, although I've heard people complain about how much work is required to create a hub. I hope it pays well! Let us know how Webnuggetz goes for you.

Hubpages is well respected, though it's annoying that when you DO have a good site, if it doesn't get traffic, they remove it from their list of promoted pages. My daughter has a hubpages account and had 10 good hubs on it that weren't earning any money at all, because she removed them from being published after Hubpages deindexed them. I persuaded her to let me try and get some traffic for her and even though Hubpages kept them deindexed (they now said they were not sufficient quality i.e. were not long enough) I got them into paying mode! ;D

- If I'm not mistaken … I could be wrong, so don't quote me … I think there are sites where you can submit a URL for indexing. If so, wouldn't that mean that even though HUBPages, de-indexed your HUB via their system, you can go directly to Google, for example, and submit your URL? I don't know. I'm thinking that's a possibility.
